都准备好了
中东音乐合奏团是一个探索和表演的论坛,是音乐系民族音乐学课程的延伸。 14年前由安妮·k·拉斯穆森(Anne K. Rasmussen)建立的乐团,在全力演出时,由15-25名音乐家组成,主要是本科生。
“The ideal aesthetic,” Rasmussen said, “is one person per part, so you can hear complementary timbres, or colors, of the instruments. 你想让尽可能多的人体验到这种体验。 另外,你可能不知道谁是最好的球员; it is difficult to audition people, because they are learning—so you might sacrifice quality to accommodate quantity.”
合奏团的音乐家演奏来自不同地区和曲目的音乐。 Their instruments include the ’ud, an 11-stringed, pear-shaped lute ( 1); qanun72弦古筝(2); 不,芦笛(3); kamanjah小提琴(4); ’cello; 低音(5)。 The ensemble also uses various percussion, including the tablah or darbukah, a vase-shaped, ceramic drum (6); the 手鼓, a tambourine with fish-skin head and heavy brass cymbals (7); and 傻瓜, the frame drum (8).
A 曼达, or small ensemble, consists of just the core instruments: ’ud, qanun, kamanjah, 不, percussion and a singer.
